this 003 really is a joke, isn't it? had they simply upgraded the adat to s/mux, i would have gone for it. a big, expensive, dongle, plus another $2500 for another rosetta800, but i would have done it.

but they couldn't be bothered, could they? they really really want PTLE users to have to put up w/ their conversion if we want 16 channels. i thought they'd nicely positioned PT-M so that the next so-called revolution of PTLE would be to hit a middle ground between M and HD. now i can't even tell if M or LE is the low end these days. bastards.

yea. the 001 has me stuck with my g4 and PT 6.4. i'm hoping to upgrade both at once. but i'll hold out as long as this setup is still working fine.

about the move away from adat. i have to admit i'm cheap when it comes to this. but i need the inputs so. i'm happy with adat. personally i would have loved another 8 ins instead.

no joke I want my 001 back. I bought a dual g5 and digi002 and my old g4 system was rock solid I dont know what to do I am thinking of switching to logic pro and a motu interface. what the f is up with digidesign. the new stuff is weak.

so i've been hearing talk about the m-audio profire lightbridge. it's pretty much basically what i was hoping the digi003 would turn out to be -- just a dongle that would allow me to go 24 channels of d/a of my choosing.

again, the positioning of LE relative to M seems not well thought out. i used to think LE was going to move closer to HD, now it just seems that it'll eventually be phased out or regarded as largely irrelevant.
